Description
Technical field
The apparatus and method of relevant commercial cooperation in the relate generally to ecommerce of the present invention relate in large-scale electronic commerce network environment the dynamically apparatus and method of business of assembling procedural model particularly.
Background technology
The dynamic e-business cooperation of being undertaken by integration mode is the prior art that a large amount of infotech and service company are developed.In the dynamic business environment, demand and supply are most all by each independently store of business events driving itself.For each partner, short-term and dynamic cooperation are replacing intrinsic, long-term partnership and are becoming main flow.The key issue of this new business mode is how people can be benefited from this special and dynamic relation, perhaps from another viewpoint, how we can guarantee that those enterprises that have a mind reduce cost and raise the efficiency as they are desired.
For the life cycle full automation that will make whole cooperation and the enterprise of procedure, need a kind of apparatus and method that can prove, promote and put into practice this new electronic business mode, and the key issue of this apparatus and method is, we how can be by eliminating that may still exist between the partner, total commerce and/or IT (infotech) problem before the actual motion, and ensure operational efficiency and validity in large-scale e-commerce environment.
In order to address this problem, different enterprises has proposed some existing methods.For example, ebXML (e-business Extensible Markup Language-ecommerce extend markup language) primary standard is that online B2B (commercial to commercial) transaction has defined the circulation of " modeling-announcement-discovery-exchange ".CPP (partner's agreement) all will be created and announce in each partner, with the interaction protocol of specifying its commercial ability and being supported, after between each partner, holding consultation, reach CPA (partner's agreement), the interaction protocol of all agreeing with the formation that limits this association and all each side.Allow the link to standard process in CPP and CPA, and this link only is used as the outside of this negotiation mode and supports, ebXML does not support may exist between the different CPP to different partners inconsistent situation to check and find.In most of the cases, therefore understanding, verification and a large amount of artificial participation of mediation needs to the procedural model between the partner can cause a large amount of expenses on time and the fund.
The problem of dynamic e-business relation is also attempted to solve by network server device and related protocol by some company.WSDL (Web Service Definition Language-web service definition language) is used to definition by the disclosed calling service interface of enterprise.UDDI is used for disclosing its business information by enterprise, with and the business supported, these business informations and the business that is supported can be by inquiry of interested potential partner and retrievals then.
UDDI (Universal Description, Discovery and Integration-universal description, discovery and integrated) purpose of technical committee be development about Network registration element task, the UDDI standard has formed announces and finds the necessary technology basis that network is realized between enterprises and enterprise.Can the details of relevant UDDI standard etc. find in following address: http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/tc_home.php? wg_abbrev=uddi-spec.
Then, use SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol-Simple Object Access Protocol-strengthen) to come calling of network enabled business in working time by other standard of for example WSIF (Web Service Invocation Framework-web services call main frame).New business process model BPEL (the Business Process Execution Language-business procedure effective language) agreement that adopts is used to the execution flow process of Network is carried out modeling.
The subject matter of these agreements is to carrying out the operation flow verification and the process that the problem that wherein exists is eliminated is lacked support before the execute phase.In the actual execute phase of commerce cooperation, when finally running into problem, just can find many operation flows mistake logically.Logic conflict between the operation flow of different partners generally is difficult in the incipient stage and is just showed, and therefore makes the negotiation that manages conflict become tediously long and inefficient work.All above-mentioned agreements all are defined in the IT level, therefore are difficult to the performance logical problem relevant with operation flow.
In order to solve other conflict of operation flow level, the existing method of holding consultation between each partner requires all partners all will participate in discussion to overall business process model, to avoid conflict, and there is following shortcoming in these methods: the partner that (1) will be all is difficult to the viewpoint that whole professional actuating logic has the overall situation, and is unnecessary; (2) the operation flow conflict between very difficult discovery, expression and the notice partner; (3) all partners are concentrated in together simultaneously to carry out aspectant negotiation be inconvenient; (4) owing to may relate to a large amount of partners, above-mentioned these methods obviously can not be supported the large scale business cooperative relationship.

In addition, the project manager 140 of present embodiment comprises: model storer 142, this model storer 142 is working areas of business process model, when a potential commercial collaborative project, just the relevant flow process (comprising internal model and interface model) of oneself and the interface model of searcher 134 resulting potential partners all are placed in this working area, the assembly drawing (i.e. block mold through assembling) of setting up connection is also placed in here; And conflicting information storer 144, be used for the visual conflict main points report that memory conflict detects engine 120 detected all conflicting informations and produced.
Below with reference to Fig. 2 method of the present invention is described, Fig. 2 is the synoptic diagram that method main points of the present invention are shown.From Fig. 2 as seen, main points of the present invention comprise: set up business process model (square 401); Retrieve to obtain other business process model (square 402) from described network; Described business process model and described other business process model are assembled, to obtain whole business process model (square 403).Wherein in square 402, the business process model that the present invention is also set up by network announcement itself.In addition, the present invention also comprises: simulate and analyze described whole business process model, wherein whether have conflict with detection, and exist in detecting described whole business process model when conflicting, produce conflict and report (square 404); And send this conflict report to described other enterprise by described network, with the described conflict of resolving through consultation (square 405).To be described in detail this below.
At square 401, each enterprise sets up their business process models separately by model creation and assembler 110, comprise internal model and interface model, but this set up process focus on setting up interface model, desired I/O model term of execution of as professional cooperation.In this stage, this enterprise can use modeling tool (being model creation and assembler 110) to start from scratch and set up each model, perhaps also can set up its business process model (shown in square 407) by means of some existing industrial standard templates.Use modeling tool can guarantee that business process model and industrial standard template will defer to some predetermined scheme and standards, make the interface model that comes from different partners can be assembled as an integrated model (being block mold).In interface model, can comprise I/O data layout etc.In addition, described industrial standard template can be disposed on the UDDI registration table 200, also can be disposed in the terminal of each enterprise.
The business process model of being set up at square 401 can wherein show certain interface model of the A of enterprise as shown in Figure 3.As can see from Figure 3, the A of enterprise places an order at node 1, through after the logic determines of node 2, satisfying under the situation of certain condition, receive needed model data X at node 3, or satisfying under the situation of another kind of condition, receive needed model data Y at node 4.Then, through the predetermined logic algorithm, form the needed professional result of the A of enterprise at node 5 places.As a result, this interface model has formed interface 1 ', 3 ' and 4 ', and wherein, interface 3 ' and 4 ' is with proviso interface.In addition, this interface model can have the descriptor of this enterprise, these descriptors comprise the information of any relevant A of this enterprise of title, character, scale, scope of business, address, contact method of the A of enterprise or the like, and these descriptors can be recorded in this interface model by any data layout that those skilled in the art can expect.
Certainly, also need interface between internal model and the interface model, still,, so do not have collision problem of the present invention between these interfaces because the interface model of the internal model of enterprise and this enterprise all is to be finished by personnel's design of this enterprise.The interface of internal model can adopt identical principle to design with the interface of interface model, perhaps, also can omit internal model and it is based upon the inside of interface model, forms unique business process model.In this case, this model inside will have complicated more logical relation and algorithm.
In square 402, the A of enterprise utilizes distributor 132, by internet 300 or other network (can comprise that those skilled in the art can realize, carry out any catenet of ecommerce thereon) interface model of being set up is published in the UDDI registration table 200 on the webserver (not shown) or in the network.In UDDI registration table 200, comprise the interface model (shown in the square among Fig. 2 406) of each potential partner with identical purpose, interest or interests.Simultaneously, this interface model is published on the UDDI registration table 200 (also can be certain available common site on the internet) with the descriptor of this enterprise, make other enterprise by applying inquiry, can dynamically search and find this interface model of the A of enterprise based on some standard.
Certainly, the A of this enterprise also can define some strategies and limit other potential partner and whether can retrieve its interface model, the agreement that perhaps whether should the retrieval behavior need issue the A of enterprise of this interface model.For example, the bar that this interface model can be published to this enterprise in the modified UDDI registration table 200 makes other enterprise will could retrieve and obtain the interface model of the A of enterprise through the agreement (as carrying out password authentication etc.) of the A of enterprise now.
When the chance of business cooperation occurs, each interface model of exchange between potential professional partner.In the dynamic business environment, when the A of enterprise finds a chance, and determine dynamically to go to find that some partners are when constituting a phantom item team, it can utilize certain common site and wherein UDDI registration table 200 on searcher 134 view Internets 300, and inquire about based on the demand that constitutes this phantom item team, to find the tabulation (not shown) of possible partner.This tabulation can be arranged in UDDI registration table 200, and it is made of the descriptor that each enterprise is published in the interface model in the UDDI registration table 200, and each clauses and subclauses of this tabulation can constitute unique inlet of this interface model.Certainly, this tabulation can also have the difference inlet of other form, for example can wait by title, the class of business of selecting enterprise and call (acquisition) this interface model.Then, the A of enterprise can select (or several) candidate B as potential partner based on certain reputation information or other consideration (other condition).According to the strategy of enterprise B, the A of enterprise can directly obtain the interface model of enterprise B from UDDI registration table 200, also can obtain the permission of enterprise B by carrying out some operation, thereby obtain the model of enterprise B by the request pattern.
In square 403, the interface model of A of enterprise and enterprise B is assembled, as through integrated block mold.In this process, can use software algorithm that the interface model of A of enterprise and B is fitted together by model creation and assembler 110, form this block mold.This block mold can be illustrated in the width of cloth drawing, as shown in Figure 4 and Figure 5.
Under the guidance of some principle (as ontology) of computing environment, can create the I/O mapping relations between each interface model automatically, certainly, this also can finish by hand by personnel.If the scale of this phantom item team without limits, then this block mold can be the world model that comprises all relevant partners, but in the large scale business environment, more common cooperation forms are, each partner all goes out to send the docking port model from its oneself viewpoint, demand or angle assembles, and only comprises relative model.
Fig. 4 shows the A of enterprise that assembles from the angle of the A of enterprise and the block mold of B.Here need to prove that when considering the assembling block mold from the angle of the A of enterprise, concerning the A of enterprise, it is visible having only interface in the interface model of enterprise B, and the internal logic of the interface model of enterprise B is sightless.When fitting together, the internal state of the interface model of the enterprise B that is showed among Fig. 4 or logical relation only are to suppose out according to the state of its interface.This operation to the block mold after assembling can't exert an influence, because when actual motion or emulation, the logic of the other side's's (being enterprise B) interface model inside does not need can see other.
Simultaneously, enterprise B also can utilize the searcher 134 that is configured on its terminal to retrieve the interface model of the A of enterprise, and assembles according to its oneself viewpoint, forms A of enterprise that the angle from enterprise B shown in Fig. 5 assembles and the block mold of B.At this moment, concerning enterprise B, the internal state or the logic of its oneself interface model are visible, and the internal state of the interface model of the A of enterprise or logic are sightless to it.
In square 404, carry out verification or emulation by installing 120 pairs of block molds of collision detection engine of 100.By block mold application software algorithm being discerned conflict or the problem that may disturb following operation, these conflicts comprise: data layout is inconsistent, resource wait, flow process inconsistent (being that flow structure is locked) etc.Simultaneously, we also can assess block mold, to propose the possible effect of dynamic service relation, promptly calculate the ROI of this business transaction.
Can make detected conflict visual at block mold, where occur in to point out problem.For example, the conflict that detected data layout is inconsistent and resource is waited in the block mold of A of enterprise and B has been shown among Fig. 6.Simultaneously, can produce the report of conflict main points according to testing result to this block mold.As shown in Figure 6, detected data layout is inconsistent to be: the A of enterprise wishes to receive at node 4 resource data of Y form, and enterprise B can only send the resource data of Z form.Detected resource waits for that conflict for example is among Fig. 6: the A of enterprise need receive resource X at node 3 under certain conditions, and enterprise B always sends resource X to this node, therefore, under the other condition, promptly when not satisfying some condition not needs conflict (not conflict has under certain conditions just taken place when node 3 receives resource X, and have conflict under the other condition, so this also can be used as a kind of warning of conflict).
Simultaneously, enterprise B is also carried out verification or emulation from its oneself angle to the block mold of being assembled, and produces the report of corresponding conflict main points.
This conflict main points report can be a kind of visual mark, comprise figure and text message, also can have audio-frequency informations such as voice suggestion, in order to present by output units such as display or microphone (not shown), the problem or the kind of conflict, the position of generation etc. that user's (being enterprise) can be judged intuitively produced.
In the square 405 of Fig. 2, solve aid 150 by the conflict in the use device 100 and between the terminal of each enterprise, exchange the report of conflict main points, relevant enterprise (partner) can attempt solving various conflicts, especially other conflict of operation flow level.If verification or emulation failure promptly goes wrong or conflicts, A of enterprise and B will hold consultation, to look at whether both sides can adjust the scheme that their interface model is separately obtained a compromise.This conflict main points report can solve aid 150 via conflict and exchange between all related each side, and this problem or conflict can be understood according to visual conflict mark by each partner.Then, according to this conflict main points report, can between each partner, carry out synchronous or asynchronous negotiation, to find the scheme of dealing with problems.
If verification succeeds, then relevant party can continue actual its professional cooperation of carrying out.In case verification succeeds, we we can say that transaction causes many problems of trouble to be identified to the dynamic e-business between A of enterprise and the B, and has obtained elimination, and they can enter into the actual motion stage now.In the actual motion stage, the problem in the middle of detecting operation again or when conflict, also can during carrying out whole life, pinpoint the problems and solve them.Certainly, it is very little to detect the possibility of problem or conflict again in the middle of actual motion.
For an order (project), manage (shown in the square among Fig. 2 408) uniformly by installing 100 project manager 140.This project manager 140 is used for creating, storing and manage each professional collaborative project, wherein all comprises the interface model of the interface model of this enterprise related, that created by model creation and assembler 110, potential partner in each professional collaborative project and through the block mold of assembling.The management of project manager 140 can relate to each processes such as model modification, exchange, assembling, verification and negotiation, and certainly, this management process need be carried out a plurality of circulations sometimes, to reach final purpose, promptly finally reaches an agreement or cancels this transaction.
Fig. 7 is the synoptic diagram that the concrete instance of the interface model assembling between two A of enterprise and the B is shown.
As shown in Figure 7, in this model, the operation flow of the A of this enterprise is: place an order, receive the invoice of potential partner (enterprise B) then, and then provide payment in advance to this potential partner (enterprise B).And enterprise B also has the business process model of oneself, and wherein the operation flow of this enterprise B is: receive order, receive the payment in advance of potential partner (A of enterprise) then, and then provide invoice to this potential partner (A of enterprise).Here, we can see that the procedural model of A of enterprise and B is distinguishing, and the conflict on the flow process has wherein taken place.
When the collision detection engine 120 among the A of enterprise detects this conflict in the verification of this block mold or simulation process, just form the report of conflict main points, and solve the aid 150 main points report of should conflicting by conflict and send enterprise B to.At this moment, need to link up between A of enterprise and the B, a side wherein needs to revise its interface model, supposes that here enterprise B is revised as its interface model: receive order, provide invoice to the A of enterprise then, and then receive the payment in advance of the A of enterprise.In this case, form situation as shown in Figure 8, wherein the interface model of A of enterprise and B fits like a glove, and has eliminated the conflict on the existing flow process between them.Then, A of enterprise and B just can continue actually to have carried out the cooperation of this project.
